11 kate has bags of kites. there are 7 kites in each bag. kate has 56 kites in all. how many bags does kate have? choose a multiplication equation that could be used to solve the problem. 56×b = 7 7×56 = b b×b = 56 7×b = 56
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Define Variables
Let ( b ) be the number of bags. Each bag has 7 kites, so total kites = kites per bag × number of bags.
Step2: Formulate Equation
Total kites are 56, kites per bag is 7. So the equation is ( 7 \times b = 56 ). Check other options: ( 56 \times b = 7 ) is incorrect as total kites times bags can't be 7. ( 7 \times 56 = b ) is wrong as it multiplies kites per bag and total kites. ( b \times b = 56 ) is not relevant here.
